Whats Best when Considering Aerola Reduction? I'd like areola reduction and currently have 450cc high profile saline implants under the muscle. I'd sometime in the future also want my implant size reduced but for now only the areolas. Will the benelli lift spread the areolas more? Why does my surgeon say it won't and others say it will? Who is right?? Also, is my goal realistic without changing the implant size yet? Thank you

A: areolar reduction

The best way to prevent areolar widening after with an areolar reduction is to use a non-absorbable suture such as Gore-Tex. This suture is soft and will retain the areolar diameter over time. The areolar skin typically heals quite well, but there may be a slightly visible scar. Consult with a board certified plastic surgeon for an in-person consultation.

Best wishes,

Dr.Bruno

I Have Droopy Areolas! What Can I Do to Fix This? I am a 35 year old female with one 16 year old child. I have been unable to find any information on my problem. My breasts went from a b cup to a full D cup during pregnancy and breast feeding. I now have what I consider to be acceptable looking breasts but my areola droops just below the nipple! I am so incredibly self conscious about it! Is there such thing as giving the areola itself a tiny lift?

A: Loss of breast volume after pregnancy

Thank you for forwarding your photographs. As a result of your pregnancy, your skin stretches out to accomodate for initially a greater breast volume. Then, once your breasts go back to their current size, you are left with a more elastic appearance.You'll also experience potential changes in your areola diamater and shape. While you have a result appearance, it looks like your breast are starting to droop, and as a result, are pulling the inferior edge of your areola inferiorly. You can also see the superior portion of your areolas starting to stretch because of your tissue characteristics. I don't believe you would be satisfied with an areolar local procedure, but may consider a small breast implant to provide you with enough volume to evenly distribute your areola shape. I hope you find my opinion helpful

If I Get an Aerola Reduction, is the Scar Very Noticeable? I am latina, olive skin tone and tan easily. Will the aerola reduction scar be very noticeable? I seem to heal well based on my previous breast augmentation with was through crease...I just really still want my aerolas reduced. They are so big.

A: areolar scars generally heal quite well

The scars from an areolar reduction usually heal quite well because the skin is fairly thin. This may vary depending on a patient's ethnicity and skin tone, but the scar is ultimately partially camoflauged by the round border of the areola (circle).
